RESTED?

Head coach Gambhir's ambiguous reply gives new twist to Rohit not figuring in the playing XI for Sydney Test saga
GOMESH S @ Sydney

WITH less than 24 hours to go for the Sydney Test, the India team did not know who would come out for toss. Or so it seems.

"The answer remains the same." That was what India team head coach Gautam Gambhir had to say when he was asked whether Rohit Sharma will be in the playing XI for the fifth and final Test between India and Australia that begins on Friday. "We are going to take a look at the wicket and probably announce our playing XI tomorrow," Gambhir said moments earlier. Probably for any other player this would have been an apt answer but for a captain who has been appointed for a series this seemed little ambiguous. Whether resting was the decision of the team management or Rohit's was also not clear.
